WOW, I'm tired.

Do any parents of teenagers blog?  Probably not.  I've never seen one, anyway.  It's too bad, really.  It's an untapped market, I think.  Are there even any good books or magazines about how to spend time with and train your teenager?  Why not?  I guess teenagers are not nearly as cute as toddlers, and they don't say things that are cute or that can be re-interpreted as cute.
There's no such thing as coasting in parenting. Or being "out of the woods."
There's just perseverance.  I guess there could be resignation, but that's cowardly and unpalatable.
But perseverance takes so much energy.  Why do I feel so isolated?
BTW, when does loneliness go away?

I am at a loss for words. All I can say is how WONDERFUL it was to read this, how my own lonely ache rejoices that there are others, and that you should really consider blogging. There is definitely a void for you to fill. And you would fill it so well.
